I happen to like the idea of this, but however I personally think Full throttle is one of those games that shouldnt be continued. Same goes for grim fandango. Besides I am aware that there was a sequel was planned, but however I'm happy that it was canned. Even if the creator of full throttle was part of the sequel I dont think it would do justice anyways.

Of course, being one of the weakest LucasArts adventure games doesn't say a lot, since they're all so great. Only Sam and Max... are lower on my list.

Are you trying to start a fight? :P

And I would agree with your assessment of Time Schaefer's games except for...well... all of his games except FT. Haven't played his newest one so I can't really comment on that, but Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and Psychonauts were all fabulous.

The world of Full Throttle was fun, so I wouldn't mind seeing another game set in that world, but I don't think the second game should center around Ben and the Polecats, since I think Ben's story was wrapped up very well.

It could be interesting to see through the eyes of a rival gang. The Vultures would be a nice choice, since we only got to see them for a short time [spoiler]after it was revealed Maureen was a member of that gang[/spoiler]. For a bit of a change of pace, the game could center around the Rottwheelers, since they appeared to be much more brutal than either the Polecats or the Vultures, so the tone of the game would surely be different as a result.

As long as it doesn't retroactively mess up the continuity I'm okay with that. Even if it's around Ben.

Really, at the end of Full Throttle, with the exception of [spoiler]Maureen[/spoiler] the status quo is maintained. Ben is more or less where he was when the game began. At least, that's how I read it.

There's more that could happen to him. The plot and the conflicts don't need to carry over from the previous game, but there's a world here that can be further explored, and some of the concept drawings from the Payback sequel were looking to do just that.

And again, I feel compelled to reiterate that it is a world grounded in reality. No fantasy objects, no magical orbs, no time-travel. Because of this, everything has to follow a logical process and reasoning. I like that. I don't mind the zany and crazy like Sam and Max or Tales of Monkey Island, but I want to see if Telltale can keep this consistent with the previous game.

As for who could really do a good impression of Roy Conrad, I heard this guy on CSI last night for the first time since Battlestar ended and I kid you not, Edward James Olmos does a perfect "gruff voice." I could hardly tell it was him until I saw his face.

The atmosphere about bikers and the future with hover cars and all that was really nice. Making a new Full Throttle over that world would be a really good idea, it don't really have to take place after the first one. But set some years after following a new "hero" and Ben could be mentioned, and a few talks about the first game could also come up. As some background history or something like that.

Since I first posted in this thread Telltale has shown me that they can do a serious game, with serious adult subject matter.

I was afraid that The Walking Dead would be toned down with swearing and quick cuts away to avoid gore, but Telltale has proven that they don't have to be all family-oriented all the time. And it looks like it has paid off.

I'd still be very interested in seeing Telltale take on this license since Full Throttle, much like The Walking Dead does take itself seriously.
